As official inspectors of hospitals. I visited the Mast hospital, owned and operated by Wally and Faye. As I was strolling past the surgery, who should I see but Ben Dement, the doctor, and Sabra Pointer, who was administering the anesthetic. They were busily working over the patient. As I drew closer. I recognized Jennie Booth. Eagerly she beckoned to me and started telling me about her dream. It seems she had gone on a long trip. She hopped in a taxi and discovered it was driven by an old classmate. Melvin Zumwalt. Jennie, upon inquiring about some of the kids, was informed that Golda Mantz, now Melvin's wife, is also running a taxi. As they neared an intersection, they heard a newspaper boy yelling the head lines: Shag Wilson, President. She bought a paper and found that Claire Stock, Shag's beautiful wife, is making an outstanding first lady. It is reported that they are very successful in their new enterprise. Driving along the street their attention was drawn by a melodious voice, giving out with Tesse's Torch song. The voice sounded familiar and as they stopped in front of the Seagul club imagine who was the doorman. None other than Bill Sumerlin. She had quite a chat with him, and found it was Rose Miller who was singing in the club. Jennie went in to see Rose and found that the club was owned by Pauline Shinkle and was operated under the skillful management of Dorothy Eads. Both girls have been doing very well in this business and have been able to secure several good acts: the stars being members of Jennie’s old class. The girls invited Jennie to be their guest for the evening so that she might see their performances. After a hearty meal of a hamburger and lemon coke at Jack LaFlamme's Cafe, better known as Jack's Greasy Spoon Drive-In. Jennie returned to Pauline's Seagul club. Walking into the club, she was stopped by a tall stranger who announced himself as Ernest Evernden. Ernest, it seems, has made quite a fortune running a chain of used car lots. He asked Jennie to join he and his wife, nee Benita Floyd, at their table. Benita has become leader of all Youth Builder, Inc., in New York City. A gust of applause was heard when master of ceremonies. Willard Lucas. announced the opening number to be a ballet. The Spirit of the Wind, by Dorothy Payton, who has been studying in Vienna under Vera Zorina. Her number was a sensation and was immediately followed by a piano solo presented by Fern Nickason, who composes her own music and has had published several really good books on boogie-woogie. Upon asking about Fern's old side-kick, Irene Detlefsen. Jennie found that she is now editor of the exclusive fashion magazine. Gruesome Patterns. Jennie't attention was brought back to the program by the Master of Ceremonies, announcing that the comedian team of Sad and Sack, who are really Connie De aray and Edmond Bargelt. would present their famous skit, She's a Real Sad Tomatoe. This number completed the floor show, so Jennie bade her friends good-by, and as she was walking out the door, who should she meet but the form-

er Shirley Rackleff, and Beverly Haynes. She had quite a chat with the girls and found that they and their hubbies are now living on neighboring chicken ranches, in Kansas, and the girls were in the city shopping. Jennie asked Shirley whatever became of Colleen Goodman. Shirley informed her that she had decided that no man was good enough for her so she became a hermit and was living a peaceful life with her palamino horse and her rabbits in the hills. Jennie said goodbye to the girls and walked on down the street to the hotel. Jennie decided that she couldn't go to bed without a night cap, so she sauntered into the lounge and ordered a short coke.” And who should she see behind the bar but Bonnie Lackey. After a short visit Jennie left the lounge and took an elevator to her room. She thought the man running it looked familiar and finally it dawned on her that it was Bob Dunn. Bob said the work didn't appeal to his delicate strength, but his wife, the former Virginia Wilson, insisted that he do something besides lay around and sleep all the time. He also said that Virginia was teaching music at the Myrtle Point High school, where Don Linn was now principal. Don had taken over the position last year, when his father resigned to spend the rest of his years happily fishing at Rogue River's Exclusive Resort, which was now owned and operated by Peck Walton and his wife, nee Annabelle Vadnais. They have quite a business, and Donna Moomaw is helping them out by supplying the fish worms from her fishworm farm near by, for the customers to use as bait. Bob also told Jennie that Hick had taken over the Central Transfer Co., and was doing a very prosperous business. Since it was nearing Christmas Hick had plenty of delivering to do from the combination variety and furniture store now run by Jeannie Clarno Bruce. Jeannie is now married to Johnnie Bruce of the Army. Hick also delivers from Moon's Hardware, which is now being run very efficiently by Edgar. Mab Belshaw has an office above the Bank of Myrtle Point, where she conducts a bureau of lonely hearts. She does her best to keep them all mended. Doctor Ben came in and announced that Jeuuie must now rest. She finally gives in to this idea after a gentle persuasion by Sabra and asks me to return the following day to visit her.
